Provides a brief discussion of the graphics capabilities of microcomputers and describes specific graphics hardware and software that are available for the more popular microcomputers. The names and addresses of the producer/distributor and prices are given for each item. (CHC)

Describes The Electric Poet, a computer program which uses color graphics to free the poet from mundane mechanics and allow new possibilities of form in writing verse. Its applications in working with hearing impaired and learning disabled students and use in studying works of the great poets are discussed. (MBR)

Presents the options and limitations available in microcomputer-based graphic systems. Factors that must be considered when selecting a system--resolution, color, video-compatibility, and cost--and the relationship between these factors are discussed. (MBR)

Traces the development of instruments used in spectrophotometry. Discusses how spectrophotometric measurements are made. Describes the color comparator, the filter photometer, and the spectrophotometer. Outlines the evolution of optical systems, including light sources, the monochromator, the photodetector, double-beam optics, and split-beam…

Describes how color graphics are built up on microcomputer displays and how a range of colors can be produced. Discusses the logic of color formation, noting that adding/subtracting color can be conveniently demonstrated. Color generating techniques in physics (resistor color coding and continuous spectrum production) are given with program…
